everyone loves silver and gold, why can't they be a match! :(

yes, I know, 1 lost earring without the other earring isn't worth much, but for scrap metals, but over time these things will add up. And I do agree rings and necklaces are much more better to find, but we don't get lucky everytime we go out. We don't find something everyday. So many other detectorist out there wanting a piece of the action, so it's hit or miss, being at the right place at the right time and it's always nice to find something out there! krissy

thanks...I'm having fun finding it! :) I was happy to find these earrings! :) krissy

no, I don't personally melt it down myself, I will be sending it to a jewelry place. they will melt down all the gold together and take out all the impurities that makes gold different grades, like 10k, 14k, 18k etc. when they are done they make your gold 24k and the silver I will do the same with , sterling silver has impurities too, I want to take all the impurities out and make formed into pure treasure bars. Yes,gold prices are jumping through the roof, I'm going to be hunting all summer, the kids and adults will be flocking to the park this summer here in florida as temperatures go sky high! just to keep cool. So I will be there too, early! :) got to beat the few other people that patrol that lake with metal detectors.....rotflmao! So also I will keep cool, I got me a long handle water scoop, I will be out deep in the lake hunting inside and outside of the lake. :) krissy

yes, they do go good together, but not as mixed match earrings, would look funky, rotflmao I sure will keep you all updated and post pictures too.and this summer is the time to hit that lake hard and heavy. :)
